Have four year old Brompton Wondered if anyone had experienced bot the traditional levers and the new two finger MTB style ones

Any perceivable difference in power?

I know they look nicer but for thirty quid I want to believe that they’ll work better too

Yes, a whole lot better – much less flexy than the plastic ones.

I have a few sets spare I think – can do ’em for less than £30 😉

Ok thanks Not sure my levers are plastic They are the silver straight levers Are you comparing the new black metal ones with these

What kind of price were you thinking for a pair? Any pics

I think I’ve got a few pairs of these ones:

Call it £20/pr inc postage.

ben, do they pull cable suitably for v brakes ?

(edited for unnecessarily derogatory bollocks)

The brakes on the new Bromptons are waaaayyyy better. Combination of new levers and calipers (and possibly cables) and they actually stop a Brompton in very short order, unlike theold ones which did bugger all

They’re meant to work with the standard calipers – probably not enough cable pull for Vs.

They’re not really all that special – they’re the best brake levers Brompton have ever made, but that’s not saying much 😉
